you can try my repo
]$ cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ ]$ su -c 'wget http://arielch.fedorapeople.org/repo/arielch.repo' ]$ su -c 'yum install kmldonkey'
(disclaimer: use it on your own risk; I did it just for friends telling that giving them rpms was too much work, and also for my kde-odf-thumbnail)

Userbase says that KMLDonkey2 was released with KDE4.x as part of the Extragear tarball. That would be correct at the time of writing - I do try to check up on such things. I don't know how extragear works, but http://extragear.kde.org/ suggests that it still is so.

There's no one extragear tarball with everything, there are extragear tarballs of individual components, they still need to be packaged separately.

After searching for hours to find the source, I think I found the latest version here:
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/extragear/network/kmldonkey/kmldonkey/
It appears to be still in active development (some files were updated within the last week) and apparently is still included in the ubuntu distro. Not sure why it was dropped from the Fedora repo - I think it is all GPL, so shouldn't violate terms and conditions.

Someone with the time and interest in maintaining the package _in_fedora_ has to package it per our packaging guideline as a binary RPM rather than a source tarball, provide regular updates, and be willing to investigate/fix bugs, as well as stay in regular contact with upstream developrs. It's definitely not for the feint of heart, especially if you aren't actually interested in using a package such as this, as it seems all of our current package maintainers are. If you are interested in seeing this package in Fedora, I encourage you to look at joining the Package maintainer group.
